About 5 years ago, the guy that owns the local photo shop gave me a bunch of expired film. In the lot were 2 rolls of 120 Vericolor VHC. I really like the color palette I got from that film. I've kept an eye out for more of it, but I never see it.

This was from one of the rolls.

From what I could find, that film was designed for duplicating prints, so I'm sure it was a fairly obscure film to begin with.

Unfortunately, it seems the best films tend to be somewhat obscure, and discontinued...

The photo store had this version of Vericolor in volume. I don't think they wouldn't stock that much of copy film. It was a portrait film I believe. A list of Vericolor films per Kodak's Color Darkroom Dataguide at the time include:

Vericolor III Pro
Vericolor 400 Pro
Vericolor HC Pro
Vericolor II Pro, Type L
Vericolor III ID
Vericolor ID/Copy
Vericolor Slide
Vericolor Print
Vericolor Internegative
Vericolor Internegative, Type 2

Okay. I still have a few rolls of Vericolor VPH 400 I'm finding at the bottom of the freezer. Expiration date Oct 1989.

Oh cool.
I have shot some expired Vericolor III with decent results. A few years ago I bought some 620 Vericolor II that expired in 1976. It hadn't aged well

This was shot at around asa 1 (1 second at f/11 in full daylight)

Two more attributes that date the picture. That's a natural tan and not an electric beach version and, um, pubic hair

I have a bulk roll of Kodak 5072, which is a C-41 slide film. It was intended to make slides from negatives. It is a tungsten film with no orange mask, thus it is sensitive to oranges and reds, from what I understand, and when shot at "normal" subjects without filtration, the images come out a strong, deep blue -- sometimes cyan. It is a high contrast, very low ISO film. Like ISO 6 or 8. It's probably the same as the Vericolor Slide film listed above. I haven't looked at the can in years.

I still haven't used this film. It's been in my freezer for years. But I've got a bulk loader now and some empty cassettes, so I'm gonna load up some of it and try it in two ways: 1) shoot dupes of negs and see how they come out and 2) just shoot regular subjects and see if the blue can't be used effectively, and also play around with the color balance in my software and see what I can come up with.

More Vericolor. Looks like I needed more shutter speed to handle the pitch.

Pentax 6x7, 55/4

Old school!

Tiller, outboard, and looks like maybe a slab reef.

24-25 footer?

It's a Ranger 26 before we added more winches and other gear.

I'm a fan of more winches, but sometimes I find too many wenches on a sailboat is not a good thing.

Bedwell Harbour Customs Dock.

One of my favourite film shots from Gulf Islands sailing, late 1990's.

Have to find the negative of this one to make a better image, this is a print scan I already had on my computer.

Would have been my ME, looks like probably my M50 F2, and I think I was mostly shooting Fuji around that time.
